One of the great things which came about with the advent of the internet, is the easy accessibility of great historic photos/images of every genre.

A huge amount of photos from all era`s of N.Ireland can be seen at many different sources.

I have come  across this one, which instinctively makes me think, it would be a great one for “Body language experts” to study.

Body Language

It is not possible to be exactly precise about the date or the venue but it is obviously from the early 1970s when the UDA must have been at it`s peak.

The picture includes an MP, various other political personalities and a couple of “leading UDA figures,” one of which is Tommy Herron.

When you study the picture however, it is none of these figures which are impressive. The individual who exudes an aura of “power and confidence” is the figure with the beard and sun-glasses.

I wonder who he is?

Some time ago I wrote an article on the subject of “Body language.”

IS THERE REALLY SUCH A THING AS “BODY LANGUAGE?”

The book of proverbs discusses “body language.”

Proverbs 6:16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
